Georgia's football team will hold its annual Fan Day festivities this afternoon inside Sanford Stadium. The event includes a workout that is open to the public.

The Bulldogs are scheduled to practice from 3:30 to 5:30, with second-year coach Kirby Smart and players set to be available for autographs on the field at 5:45. The practice, which will be the sixth of the preseason, is free of charge.

Fans will be allowed to enter the stadium through Gates 2, 4, 6 and 9 starting at 2:30, and they will find seats available in the 100 and 200 levels. Fans are encouraged to start lining up for autographs at 5.

Smart will be available from 5:45 to 6:30.

To facilitate as many autographs as possible in the allotted time, fans are limited to two posters per person, and only the 2017 Georgia football schedule poster can be signed. The poster will be available as fans enter the field for the autograph session.

No other items will be permitted for autographs, and no posed photographs with Smart or the players will be allowed.

Smart is scheduled to meet with the media this morning, as are offensive coordinator Jim Chaney and defensive coordinator Mel Tucker.
